LSJ_Furniture Removal and Storage_redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Record justifying limited competition below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for office furniture removal and storage services at USSOUTHCOM. The requirement, managed by the 410th Contracting Support Brigade/Regional Contracting Office - Miami, involves dismantling, removing, inventorying, and storing existing furniture from the Marine Corps Forces, South (MARFORSOUTH) to a designated storage area on the 5th floor of the SOUTHCOM facility.

The scope includes labor for furniture removal and (8) 40ft storage containers, with a period of performance of 6 days ending by February 27, 2025. The procurement will be sole-sourced to Perdue Office Interiors as a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order using Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA) FY25 funds. The justification cites that while there are two STEELCASE distributors in the area (Perdue Office Interiors and Empire Office Inc.), only Perdue can provide services due to administrative issues with Empire. The requirement stems from a USSOUTHCOM directive mandating furniture uniformity, as the command currently uses Gunlocke products and needs to maintain aesthetic consistency and interchangeability of furniture components.
